The olive green Day-Date 40 in Everose is the one that gets called the crown jewel of the modern President lineup, and VS Factory (VSF) has it here as a V2 upgraded batch. It's the same 228235 reference as the Everose model, but the olive dial is what sets it apart. Most Day-Dates lean dressy and neutral. The olive green is the opposite, a strong color that still wears like a proper dress watch.

The dial. Olive green with a sunburst finish, and it's the reason this watch has the reputation it does. The Roman numerals are faceted and polished in rose gold, so they catch light from more than one angle and sit with some depth against the green. It's a color that changes a lot depending on whether you're indoors or in direct sun.
The movement. The source text uses both DD3255 and VS3255 to describe the same movement. It's the Dandong 3255, a true clone of the modern Rolex caliber. Day and date both flip at midnight at the same time, matching how the genuine article behaves. No decorative plate over a cheap base.
The plating. The case, bezel, crown, and bracelet are all 904L steel with a heavy rose gold plating. VSF has tuned the hue to sit in that Everose range, copper-toned without drifting pink or brassy. The fluted bezel does the heavy lifting of making plated steel pass for solid gold at normal viewing distance.
The crystal. This is the V2 upgrade, marked by the red sticker. The sapphire is clearer edge to edge, and the cyclops has a better anti-reflective coating, so the day and date print stays legible without glare. That's the kind of change you don't see in a photo but notice when you wear it.
The bracelet. The President bracelet is exclusive to the Day-Date, with the semi-circular three-piece links. The whole thing is rose gold plated to match the case, and it closes with the concealed Crownclasp so there's no visible fold.
The takeaway. This is the olive green Everose Day-Date 40, the V2 batch, and VS Factory (VSF) got the two things that matter here: the DD3255 movement with the simultaneous day and date flip, and that olive dial with the faceted rose gold Roman numerals. The V2 crystal is a small but real upgrade over the first batch. If you want the Day-Date color that has a reputation rather than a spec sheet, this is the one.
